Thats very good to be honest, my Hyundai Veloster turbo is getting the same mpg even though it has a 1.6L engine and it is much lighter.

350 owners hate everyone else. the level of pretentiousness is nearly on par with that of bmw owners'.

Wut?? We don't hate on the 200t too much. It's the 250 we bag on

The reality is that all of the Lexus engines suck. Happy now

i'll believe it when i see it... 200t hasn't been modded yet.

as someone else said, the 250 is the real POS here. the 200t barely squeaks by

It's sad but true. It happens on all car forums though where the faster model owners have to hate on the slower model. They're not all like that though, but it's pretty clear and apparent who the owners that do when majority of their posts are to just hate on the slower models

Actually the 350 owners doesn't hate the is200t, becuase it is fast enough and what you lose in power you gain in fuel efficiency. However the real engine which 350 owners doesn't like is the 250, since you do not get power nor fuel efficiency.

By an is350 owner ��.

On a side note:
I think the real people who doesn't like this engine is the 250 owners, since it is out performing theirs in power and it is more fuel efficient.
